Description
The crew of trucks all roll up, rumbling, to a site that's old and crumbling – they can't wait to get underway: Today is DEMOLITION DAY! The construction team has an exciting new job to do: smashing, crushing, sorting, and hauling as they demolish an old building! Demolition is tough work, but these powerful vehicles are up to the task... and once the job is done, there will be a freshly cleared construction site, ready for building something new!
Sherri Duskey Rinker and AG Ford, the author-illustrator team behind the New York Times bestsellers Construction Site on Christmas Night and Three Cheers for Kid McGear! bring their playful rhyming text and vibrant illustrations to this satisfying story about working together, breaking things down, and cleaning it all up at the end of the day.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
